He futher told Dumlao, “if you are listening to me, you better surrender and clear yourself if wala kang kasalanan (if you have done nothing wrong). If not, I will offer, dead or alive, five million!”

As for those who would be able to find Dumlao after the 24-hour deadline has lapsed, the President said, “dalhin mo dyan sa gate ng Malacañang, okay sa akin (bring him there at Malacañang gate, that is okay with me). If you bring him dead, the better.”

Dumlao, a police colonel in the PNP Anti-Illegal Drugs Group (PNP-AIDG), had left Camp Crame at midnight on Friday where he was under restrictive custody.

In the same press conference, however, PNP Chief Ronald dela Rosa informed the President that Dumlao had actually returned to Camp Crame on Sunday afternoon.

In the same briefing, Duterte told mediamen that investigators had confirmed Dumlao was the mastermind in the kidnapping and murder of Korean businessman Jee Ick Joo in October last year.
